On Saturday, November 8, from 7:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., the museum will open its doors with free admission for the 21st edition of Museum Night.
As in previous years, Malba participated in the event with three exhibitions:
Third Eye: The Costantini Collection at Malba
More than 150 iconic works of Latin American art are on display in a series that brings together the Malba Collection and that of its founder, Eduardo F. Costantini. The exhibition features masterpieces from the museum's collection by artists such as Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Tarsila do Amaral, Leonora Carrington, Xul Solar, Joaquín Torres García, Emilio Pettoruti, Roberto Matta, Maria Martins, Remedios Varo, Antonio Berni, and Jorge de la Vega, among others, along with major acquisitions made by Costantini in recent years.
Pop Brazil: Avant-garde and New Figuration, 1960s-70s
A representative selection of over 120 pieces, including works from the Pinacoteca de São Paulo collection, and from the Roger Wright collection—considered one of the most important Brazilian art collections dedicated to the artistic production of the 1960s and 1970s—MALBA, and Costantini collections. It includes works by Anna Bella Geiger, Antônio Dias, Claudio Tozzi, Hélio Oiticica, Mira Schendel, Rubens Gerchman, Wanda Pimentel, and Wesley Duke Lee, among other key figures of the period.
Ulises Beisso: My Private World
The first institutional exhibition of Ulises Beisso outside his native country. Born in Montevideo, Uruguay (1958-1996), in his short career he produced over three hundred works seeking to subvert the established order through figuration. The importance of his legacy today lies in his conceptualization, in terms of identity, of dissent and diversity within the cultural context of the Río de la Plata region during the 1980s and early 1990s.
